Grow Your Vision, Extend Your Boundaries
"Self-expression provides or is an outer, after effect of self-cognizance. It gives structure to many aspects of our life, including the professional one. Some of leadership's recognized aspects are self-cognizance and curiosity. I try to nurture both."
Being an Author
I am a registered Author at the Portuguese Society of Authors (www.spautores.pt). The Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores (Portuguese Society of Authors) is a limited liability cooperative, established in 1925 to Manage Author's Rights. It is the sole entity of its kind in Portugal, representing more than 20,000 Portuguese authors and authors from about 200 sister societies spread throughout 90 foreign countries.

Spoken Word
Spoken Word
Spoken Word is a style of music in which the author narrates prose or declaims poetry accompanied by a musical background, usually deprived of emotion. The emotion is provided by the background music. However, I like to sing and on many songs, I do so. Most of the time I start by building up the melody and then I apply the lyrics. Anyway, many times I did the opposite as I wanted to transmit some strong emotion or something deep. I just like to tell a story...
To produce my music I use Apple's LOGIC PRO X, a Korg Kaossilator, a Korg Kaoss Pad, a Numark DJ set, and RHODE professional microphones, my hands, sometimes my bass, and, definitely, my voice.
For graphic art, I use different software such as PIXELMATOR, Final Cut Pro, Insta 360 Studio 2022.
In February 2019 I reached nr.1 on REVERBNATION charts for Spoken Word artists amongst more than 500 Global Spoken Word artists.
You can find my songs on my website www.meiraaz.com or on well-known music platforms.
I am part of REVERBNATION, an artists network. I also license my music for video and cinema on SONGTRADR.
I also participated on some international projects
Sometimes I also apply for music contests.
Books
In 2019 I published my first two eBooks, "LETTERS TO THE DEVIL IN US AND OTHER SELF-APPEASING EXERCISES", Volumes I and II.

I AM ALL COLOURS (lyrics)
When I think in my colour
Some say I’m white
But I have freckles!
These are yellowish-brown
When I look at the inside of my mouth
It’s red, pinkish, and other fiery colours
My favourite attire is to dress in black
I guess I am all colours?
VISCUS in Latin means "an internal organ of the body located in the great cavity of the trunk" such as the liver, the heart, or the intestine. Viscera is the plural of VISCUS. This album is a collection of singles released previously, which describe very personal, and telluric experiences in my life, or reflections upon life as a whole as we humans progress along its path with age.
The design drives the listener to the album's name, and contents through a clean, and sophisticated art graphism in the form of a heart-shaped flower arrangement. It also intends to communicate sensitivity to life's ambiguous nature, its shades of greys, and our responses to it.
The fractal nature (a graphic way of representing a mathematical pattern that repeats itself ad eternum if you zoom in on it, shows up even in images that seem to have been drawn chaotically as in Jackson Pollock's paintings; natural structures such as leaves are fractal) of a leaf's enervated structure hints at how life can go full circle, full of ups and downs.
The red and green specks of color given by the rose on the background tangibly symbolize hope (the green) to the downs (the red) we all experience.
This is my album VISCUS as a physical USB pen drive, which I made with the intent of being an art installation that can be carried as a decorative token in bags or a brooch for a coat. It's easy to carry and the idea behind this concept is that you can listen to it whenever you may want to have the somewhat forgotten feeling of physically listening to music. See the possible applications down below.
Click my art and listen!
I write the lyrics, build the melody, orchestrate (sometimes using my own instruments), and do the whole mix and the graphic art, reflecting sometimes the meaning of the underlying text and melody.
Albums
Singles
Acting. Cinema and TV
I love cinema! I have done a few experiences in acting way back when I lived in Barcelona. You can even see me on NETFLIX and find me on the IMDB database!
